Summary: Nothing is as it seems, it never was, never will be, because there is nothing left, nothing but silence.

A/N: Short I know, but I'm feeling slightly depressed and this is what came out. It's meant to be Bella/Carlisle but I suppose you could look at it as Edward/Bella or Bella/Any of the male Cullens. Written for my Twilight20 prompt: Silence.

Perhaps this is how it's supposed to be, you think, as you sit, your lifeless eyes staring off into the glowing western horizon. Nothing is as it seems, it never was, never will be, because there is nothing left, nothing but silence. This is why you sit here now, the last dying rays of daylight shoot orange across the sky, and as twilight descends, you hear your bedroom door open, the old rusty hinges squeaking in the silence, making you turn your head away from the window.

Nothing will ever be the same again, but that doesn't matter to you anymore, because when his golden eyes meet yours, you know that you are loved. It may not be the same, but it will do. Without breaking the stillness, you stand and fall into his waiting arms, where you will stay, until forever is no more.
